TOTAL SHOP FLOOR/COSTING MANAGEMENT FOR FILM HOUSES

PlastiSoft Corporation has recently released an upgraded version of Tori-Flex which provides extruders, printers and converters of plastic flexible packaging with many new enterprise management features, including the ability to accurately estimate the cost of multi-layer bags, a process that has been a constant challenge for manufacturers.

Other new features include improved barcode shipping by pallet, a full purchasing module, user customizable quotes and work order reports, as well as a state of the art data-mining module for sales and production.

“Our development team has spent eight years collaborating closely with flexible packaging manufacturers to understand in-depth their distinctive process requirements such as costing factors and other unique requirements for the flexible packaging industry,” says Jacob Aharon, president and CEO of PlastiSoft.
